A little about physics and a lot about how to keep ourselves safe.

I have a tandem rating!!!

The barrel release wouldn't work because we had too much pressure on it.
Anyhow, the tandem can indeed perform big wingovers, as I demonstrated when I finally got separated from the tug.

I have heard about the line being able to wrap, but in thousands of aerotows I have never experienced it. I thought readers might be interested to see actually happens.

Just use your secondary bent pin crap as your primary release and your 130 pound Greenspot miracle string as your emergency (instant hands free) release.

And he tells us he finished tenth in the Sport class on his U2. And from that we can (finally) quickly and easily identify him as...
